Bonnie &
Steve: Omega-3's
from fish
pack a
stronger
punch than
flaxseed and
other oils
when it
comes to
cancer
prevention,
according to
a first-ever
study
published inThe
Journal of
Nutritional
Biochemistry.

Researchers
discovered
that
marine-based
omega-3s
are
eight
times
more
effective
at
inhibiting
tumor
development
and
growth
in mice.

There
are
three
types of
omega-3
fatty
acids:
a-linolenic
acid
(ALA),
eicosapentaenoic
acid
(EPA)
and
docosahexaenoic
acid
(DHA).
ALA is
plant-based
and
found in
such
edible
seeds as
flaxseed
and in
oils,
such as
soy,
canola
and hemp
oil. EPA
and DHA
are
found in
marine
life,
such as
fish,
algae
and
phytoplankton.

ALA must
be
broken
down
into EPA
and DHA.
In many
humans,
that
extra
step is
retarded
by
genetic
mutation,
as many
who have
done the
Pure
Genomics
screening
can
attest
to.

The
authors
explained
that
omega-3s
prevent
and
fight
cancer
by
turning
on genes
associated
with the
immune
system
and
blocking
tumor
growth
pathways.

Chiropractic Case
Studies

No
More Leaky
Bladder for
This
Patient!

Vertebral
Subluxation
Researchpublished
a case study
of a patient
who came in
for
chiropractic
care during
her second
trimester of
pregnancy.
For three
years she
had suffered
with urinary
incontinence
after a
previous
traumatic
birth.
During that
birth, three
years
beforehand,
she had
severe
perineal
tearing and
then
immediately
afterwards
was unable
to hold
urine beyond
about a
half-full
bladder. She
also would
frequently
urinate on
herself when
sneezing or
coughing
even shortly
after going
to the
bathroom.

During the
Chiropractic
visits she
received
instructions
on
corrective
exercises to
perform at
home as well
as
instrument
based
adjustments
to correct
misalignment
of the bones
above the
sit bone,
the pelvis
and the
ligaments
above the
groin.
Urinary
Incontinence
Resolved
after 6
Chiropractic
visits.

Did you
notice that
the
incontinence
occurred
after
perineal
tearing? I
remember
years ago a
pregnant
women came
to my office
specifically
because she
did not want
to tear
during
delivery and
she did not
want an
episiotomy.
I sent her
home with
the
following
instructions
which were
so
successful
that I
recommend
this to all
of my
pregnant
patients.

Every day
during the
last
trimester,
massage the
perineum
with olive
oil or
coconut oil
or any oil
that doesn't
cause any
kind of
allergic
reaction.
Then follow
up with a
very warm
washcloth
and keep it
there for a
few minutes.
This primes
the tissue
to be more
flexible
during
delivery.
Some
obstetricians
massage this
area during
the delivery
to prevent
tearing and
if yours
does make
sure to
bring in the
oil you have
been using
so as not
have an
allergic
reaction to
any oil they
might use.

Along with
massaging
the
perineum, I
recommend my
pregnant
patients get
adjusted
after birth
to correct
any bones
and
ligaments
that got
jammed
during
delivery.
New moms
need all the
help they
can get to
give optimal
attention to
their
newborns.

Reiki,
pronounced
"RAY-key", is a
powerful,
non-invasive
healing
technique dating
back thousands
of years. It is
one of the
fastest growing
complimentary
modalities in
the world and is
quickly gaining
acceptance in
the medical
establishment.
It is being used
in hospitals,
nursing homes,
hospices and
spas throughout
the U.S.

Reiki's natural healing abilities can help with stress, tension, anxiety, insomnia, PTSD, pain management & more. It helps stimulate the immune system and aids the body in eliminating toxins. Patients who received Reiki before and after surgery reported less pain and a shortened hospital stay. It is also being used as a complimentary therapy for side-effects of chemo. A session helps to promote a sense of peace, calmness, well being and deep relaxation. The benefits of Reiki are numerous.

Reiki is done with the client fully clothed lying on a massage table. The practitioner uses specific hand positions along the front and back of the body with hands either lightly touching or slightly above the client.

Steve:Traditional
saunas emit
direct heat.
Far Infrared
uses light
to create
heat. Far
infrared run
at much
milder
temperatures,
but travels
much deeper
into the
body, which
is why you
sweat more
vigorously.

Far Infrared
Therapy
offers
numerous
therapeutic
benefits,
most
importantly
enhanced
detoxification.
Many of our
clients use
it to
relieve
painful
joints, rev
up
metabolism,
and remove
buildup of
heavy
metals.

A
new
report
published
inMayo
Clinic
Proceedingsfound
that
sauna
bathing
is
associated
with
a
reduction
in
the
risk
of
vascular
diseases,
such
as
high
blood
pressure
and
cardiovascular
disease,
neurocognitive
diseases,
nonvascular
conditions,
such
as
pulmonary
diseases,
mental
health
disorders,
and
mortality.
Furthermore,
sauna
bathing
alleviated
conditions
such
as
skin
diseases,
arthritis,
headache,
and
flu.
The
evidence
also
suggests
that
regular
sauna
baths
are
associated
with
a
better
health-related
quality
of
life.
Wow,
what
can't
saunas
do?

A
second
study
fromNeurologystated
that
frequent
sauna
bathing
is
associated
with
a
reduced
risk
of
stroke.
In a
15-year
follow-up
study,
people
taking
a
sauna
4-7
times
a
week
were
61%
less
likely
to
suffer
a
stroke
than
those
taking
a
sauna
once
a
week.
Even
one
sauna
session
per
week
reduced
the
risk
of
stroke
by
14%
compared
with
those
who
did
not
take
saunas.
